England squad for T20 WC 2022: In a massive breaking news update, England have announced their 15-member squad for this year’s ICC T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to be held in Australia. The English side ended up losing the semi-final encounter at the hands of New Zealand during the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 edition played in the UAE. The Jos Buttler-led England team will be opening their T20 WC 2022 campaign against Afghanistan on 22 October, 2022 in Perth. England are placed in the Group 1 of Super 12 that also includes Afghanistan, Australia, New Zealand and two qualifying teams.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have announced their 15-man T20I squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup and the biggest surprise is the exclusion of premier opening batsman Jason Roy. During the recent few T20I series against India and South Africa at home, Roy looked in a very miserable form with the bat and even failed to fire in the ongoing The Hundred. In his absence, the likes of Harry Brook, Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow are the frontrunners to partner skipper Jos Buttler at the top.
On the other hand, senior all-rounder Ben Stokes makes a return to the T20I squad while the pace bowling duo of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes are also returning from their respective injury lay-offs. England have named three travelling reserves, Tymal Mills, Liam Dawson and Richard Gleeson.
